The Wild Kindness

I wrote a letter to a wildflower
 On a classic nitrogen afternoon
 Some power that hardly looked like power
 Said, I'm perfect in an empty room
 Four dogs in the distance
 Each stands for a kindness, yeah
 Bluebirds lodged in an evergreen altar
 I'm gonna shine out in the wild silence
 I'm gonna shine out in the wild silence
 I'm gonna shine out in the wild silence
 And spurn the sin of giving in
 Oil paintings of x-rated picnics
 Behind the walls of medication I'm free
 Every leaf in a compact mirror (bye-bye, babe bye-bye)
 Hits a target that we can't see (babe, bye-bye, goodbye)
 Grass grows in the icebox
 The year ends in the next room
 It is autumn and my camouflage is dying
 Instead of time there will be lateness
 Instead of time there will be lateness
 Instead of time there will be lateness
 And let forever be delayed
 ♪
 I dyed my hair in a motel void
 Met the coroner at the Dreamgate Frontier
 He took my hand and said, "I'll help you, boy (bye-bye, babe, bye-bye)
 If you really wanna disappear" (babe, bye-bye, goodbye)
 Four dogs in the distance
 Each stands for a silence, yeah
 Bluebirds lodged in an evergreen altar
 I'm gonna shine out in the wild kindness
 I'm gonna shine out in the wild kindness
 I'm gonna shine out in the wild kindness
 And hold the world to its word
